B2e3-a4a/S23-ay

[Hdjensofjfnen]

Here's a rule I'd like to create a thread for. It has several small p2 c/2's, shown below. The last two can perhaps be called SMOSes:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 43, rule = B2e3-a4a/S23-ay
4b2o$6bo$4b2o3$5bo$6bo$6bo$5bo3$5bo$6bo$3bo2bo$3bobo3$5bo$6bo$6bo$6bo$

ob2o$3bob2o$3bo2bo$b2o!

EDIT: Removed the last ship from the collection, was actually trivial

The rule also has four natural oscillators (2p2,3p2,4p3,6p10), the last of which I would not have discovered without the synthesis provided.

Code: Select all

x = 25, y = 5, rule = B2e3-a4a/S23-ay

Here's a puffer I found out of some ash:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 5, rule = B2e3-a4a/S23-ay

Here's another puffer, which is infinitely extensible:

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 4, rule = B2e3-a4a/S23-ay
bo3bo3bo3bo$obobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo$4bobobobo!

Code: Select all

Nice find! Must have slipped through my sights.

EDIT: How the heck did I miss this? It's the first non-p2 c/2.

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 4, rule = B2e3-a4a/S23-ay
bo3bo$obobobo$obobobo$2bobo!

EDIT: Infinitely extensible:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 4, rule = B2e3-a4a/S23-ay
bo3bo3bo$obobobobobo$obobobobobo$4bobo!

EDIT: The puffer, though, is not.

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 5, rule = B2e3-a4a/S23-ay

EDIT: Removed the last ship from the collection, was actually trivial

There is no SMOS in there in an SMOS two ships need different displacements (e.g. different spaceship speeds, or same speeds but front/side-collisions are involved.)

Some more ships (the small c/3 should be natural and synthesisable, likely gunable if there is a gun for any ship, maybe even the c/5 diagonal as well):

Code: Select all

x = 185, y = 49, rule = B2e3-a4a/S23-ay

There is a front-back collision every two generations in both ships I provided.

[Saka]

There is a front-back collision every two generations in both ships I provided.

Yes, but the ships in that "SMOS" are both the same speed, so actually there is no proper collision, and the front ship is left unaffected.

[dani]

I would usually side with Hdjens but then there would be infinitely many SMOSes (SMOS'? SMOS's? SMOSi? SMOSae? SsMOS?) in rules with sparky spaceships e.g. this would be a SMOS:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 11, rule = B3/S23
b6o$o5bo$6bo$o4bo$2b2o2$3b2o$bo4bo$7bo$bo5bo$2b6o!

[2718281828]

I think part of the SMOS definition is that the SMOS must result of a glider collision of the individual spaceships. Therefore the individuals can't travel in the same direction with the same speed.

[Majestas32]

That would be a flotilla not an SMOS
